E.O. Stansberry, who lives So. of Milligan, had a narrow
escape from death on Fri. He has a two-year-old bull which he
keeps in a box stall. He went into the stall to clean it out and
the wind blew the door. The bull charged him, knocking him down
and goring him about the legs. He managed to regain his feet and
when the bull started at him he started at the bull and bluffed
him until a man who was in another part of the barn could open
the door. No permanent injury is likely to result, but it is an
experience that Mr. Stansberry would not like to repeat.
